I have also ripped with a hand saw and it's not nearly as bad as you might think, depending on the wood.
Sheet goods I don't use much, but I have found that I can hand plane the edge of plywood without too much trouble, so the same ripping and cleaning up the edge works.
Not long ago I bought a track saw. Now I can use that for sheet goods. Before I had the track saw, I would cut sheet goods with a 10 tpi crosscut hand saw. It goes pretty fast, but there's a lot of tear out on the back side.

You are more ambitious than most, including me. I can't imagine ripping and edging all of the faceframe material required to build a set of kitchen cabinets by any of those methods.
